...Chairman Patrick J. Lucey, Stevenson-pledged but Kennedy-prone, a protégé of Wisconsin's Johnson-baiting Senator William Proxmire, called a quick meeting of about a dozen of the 27 members of the party's administrative committee, got them to vote for an innocent statement in favor of allowing Wisconsin voters "to participate as fully as possible" in the Wisconsin primary.

The accusation was never proven to anyone's satisfaction, and the girl graduated from Radcliffe with her academic honor and her apricot box intact...
